Environmental protection is an essential value for Ternium and we know that steel is part of the solution towards a sustainable future: resistant and durable, it is a 100% recyclable material and can be endlessly reused. We invest in new technologies and seek to constantly improve our production system to minimize the impact of our operations and maximize efficiency in the use of resources. As members of the World Steel Association we are governed by the most advanced industry standards.
100% recyclable. Steel can be endlessly reused without losing its inherent properties.
Tons of CO2 a year are captured and reused in other industrial processes.
Focused on the environment and energy, and fully integrated into our operations.
Material efficiency.
Million invested in the last four years in environmental projects.
Of employees and contractors work in production plants that are certified to ISO 14001.
We have a corporate Environmental and Energy Policy, which together with our Environmental Energy and Management System, sets forth our goals and principles in terms of the impact of our processes onto the ecosystem. The policy – last updated in 2023 – demonstrates our commitment to the environment, energy efficiency and the protection of the communities where we operate. We have also developed lifecycle assessments for the elaboration of environmental product declarations (EPDs). We have already published three declarations in Mexico, and five more are in being elaborated.
Steel can be endlessly recycled without losing its properties. The use of recycled steel in the production process helps reduce CO2 emissions.
For the last five years, we have achieved 100% material efficiency. We have increased the number of co-products obtained throughout the manufacturing cycle, which are in turn used by different industries such as cement, plastics and carbonated drinks, among others.
At Ternium we seek to maximize efficiency in the use of resources by introducing the “circular economy” concept throughout our production process, from raw material extraction to product manufacturing, use and recycling.
